Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, cream the softened butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add the maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. If using, fold in nuts or chocolate chips.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared cookie sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart, and gently flatten them.
Baking
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden.
- Allow cookies to cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For added depth, consider using dark brown sugar instead of light. Ensure the butter is softened to room temperature for easier creaming. Store cookies in an airtight container.
